Oxford University may make ‘woke scores’ part of recruiting criteria
According to reports, Oxford University may use ‘woke scores’ as a criterion for hiring academics.
The need of infusing EDI – equality, diversity, and inclusion – into ‘all recruitment’ is apparently stated in a consultation document from the university’s race equality taskforce.
According to the Daily Telegraph, it proposes that ‘excellent citizenship and/or devotion to EDI work’ be ‘important consideration’ for applicants.
However, other academicians are opposed to the proposal.
One of the big issues that may well upset dons is that EDI is meant to be embedded as a criteria when making academic appointments,’ a senior don told the newspaper.
‘If we are supposed to pay attention to their EDI – their woke score – does this mean it doesn’t matter if they are useless at teaching and research?’
